Fire Lord Zuko {R}{W}{B} Legendary Creature β Human Noble Ally Firebending X, where X is Fire Lord Zukoβs power. (Whenever this creature attacks, add X {R}. This mana lasts until end of combat.) Whenever you cast a spell from exile and whenever a permanent you control enters from exile, put a +1/+1 counter on each creature you control. βToday, this war is finally over!β 2/4 Watermark: Fire Nation Illustrated by Jo Cordisco
Hero's Blade {2} Artifact β Equipment Equipped creature gets +3/+2. Whenever a legendary creature you control enters, you may attach this Equipment to it. Equip {4} ({4}: Attach to target creature you control. Equip only as a sorcery.) The best swords are forged with dragonfire. Illustrated by Aaron Miller
It's that time where we ask YOU if there's any Avatar legends that pass the Hero's Blade Vibe Check?
We know Fire Lord Zuko would be no stranger to holding one, but who else benefits?

HBVC Daily 04 November 2025 (Sharuum "My Wife" the Hegemon, during an interview) Title: Radio Studio Destroyed by Sphinx - By Johnny Mardu _______ Surviving a monumental accident really puts things into perspective. But also, did those two have a license to drive that thing? I'm shocked we made it out after-

Drakuseth, Maw of Flames in the brewing stage: awww cute :3
Drakuseth, Maw of Flames in the gameplay stage: SOMEBODY DOOM BLADE THAT THING RIGHT THE FUCK NOW WE ARE UNDER FUCKING ATTACK
Removing threats and getting in every turn for 4 in the air is a viable gameplan.

My editor: it's Halloween, do something vaguely related pls
Me: what about an article about Transform cards
The result:This turned into a pretty interesting exploration of Transform in the 'zone tbh. I remain convinced it's the secret sauce for UB Commanders.
